Bragantino's 2023 season begins with high expectations, and one of the keys to that is the continuity of Cleiton as the team's starting goalkeeper. At just 25 years old, he has proven to be more than an athlete; he is a leader on the field. The coach's confidence is evident, especially after his consistent performances last season.

Recently, Cleiton shared his determination to improve with every match. "I am focused on keeping the team strong in defense and helping my teammates achieve victories," he said after a training session. His role extends beyond stopping shots; his ability to organize the defensive line is essential for the team's functioning.

In the last friendly against São Bento, Cleiton made crucial saves, securing a 2-0 victory. The fans celebrated his performance, with chants of support echoing in Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid. Cleiton knows that the pressure and expectations will be higher, but he sees this as an opportunity to shine.

With the season ahead, Cleiton is expected to maintain his form and contribute to Bragantino's defensive strength. For fans and critics alike, he is one of the players who can define the success of the team this season. The upcoming matches will be a test of his resilience and skill.
